Living in Aspen, CO

Aspen, CO on the map· Open the live map

Practicing in Aspen puts world-class skiing on Ajax and Maroon Bells hikes right off shift, but workforce reality means living down-valley. Most hospital staff settle in Basalt, Carbondale, or Glenwood Springs, riding the reliable RFTA bus or navigating Highway 82 into town. It’s an unmatched Rocky Mountain backdrop paired with a distinct commuter rhythm.
